CHICAGO.
CHICAGO March Is This proved to be sort
of sensational day in wheat. As the session ad-
vanced suspicion grew that the bull clique were
selling out their long wheat, and the great quantity
dumped on TIE market appeared to confirm this
view. The starting price for may delivery was
,lsc, or &c lower than the closing figures of last
night. The market held steady for u short time,
and then began to recede slowly under larger of
ferngs. The market was very stubborn at about
SOlac, but the quantities Of wheat which pressed
for sale finally became SO large that shortly before
noon the price dropped 10 19ic 1t held there
steadily for short time, when another deluge of
wheat came on the market, and the pit became the
scene of half panic. There was a sudden plunge
to 1S7sc, the decline bringing out tremendous lots
of long wheat, and causing the announcement of
the failure of one firm. During the decline COM
mission houses were compelled to close out MI
merous trades for customers whose margins had
expired. There was also free calling of mar
gins all of which were promptly responded to.
The market rebounded from inside figures even
more rapidly than it had declined. "Shorts, who
endeavored to cover, found little wheat sale,
and the clique bull houses were open buyers for
large quantities. Market rallied to sac, and stop
ped there at O'Clock.
IN the afternoon the market opened at SC5sc, and
to SlIac without stopping, finally closing at
Sis to SlllC. The clearings from three Atlantic
ports aggregated 100000 bushels. Reports con-
tinue to be free, aggregating 200 bushels at
eleven points, while the shipments from the same
points aggregated so bushels.
The corn market ruled moderately steady early
in the day, but finally became heavy under large
offerings. Market finally closed sc lower than
yesterday. Receipts continue free, and shipping
demond moderate.
Lard advanced 10 to 1915 per lO) pounds early
but fell back, and closed about the same as yes
terday.
There was sharp advance of - to SOC in shor
ribs early in the day, but the advance was nearly
all subsequently lost

turned upon his grass land. 1t carries
much fertility with it in the form of
silt, and always more OF less manure
from the droppings of animals and
from the carts.
In British experiments last year
copperas proved valuable fertilizer
for many crops An increase of 400
pounds in the potato yield of an eighth
Of an acre resulted from treatment
with fourteen pounds of copperas. It
gave as good a crop of turnips as did
guano and dissolved bones, and nearly
doubled the yield Of hay. Good re-
suits were also obtained with onions,
beans and marigold-wurzel.
You may have seen a farmer spend
half an hour trying to catch his horse,
coaxing and cornering him, and as
soon as he gets the halter on the horse
lashing him soundly with the shank
to vent his spleen, perhaps thinking
that the horse would understand the
punishment to be because he refused
to be caught, when the horse really
understands it to be a punishment for
allowing himself to be caught, and on
the next occasion will make an extra
effort to avoid being caught, in order
to escape the punishment.

a legal corporation as any banking or
transportation company. Its objects
are cooperation for mutual benefit
between farmers, the elevation OF ag-
riculture and the resistance of organ
lied oppression. Any thinking man
will see that it can be more successful
than if conducted on any other plan
suggested. We see in times Of war
that all the soldiers are put under the
command of one set of men or one
man, and that such soldiers are con-
nected through companies, regiments,
brigades, &C., with every other in the
army, and if it were not so no army
could accomplish anything but it's own
destruction. This farmers movement
is governed by the same laws. We
must have harmony of action all the
way through from foundation to point
of spire, all must be connected to-
gether and work with concert by
bringing the talent among the farmers
in contact, we may see that we have
as good as there is in any calling, and
when it comes together in the council
room we will find that there can be
union Of mind and development of
great good. ~

KIDNEY TROUBLE IN HORSE

The symptoms in this case are scantv.
highly-colored urine, sometimes tinged
with blood, soreness across the kidneys
and hard, quick pulse, but appetite
good. The length of time the horse
has been suffering is not stated, and
nothing said in regard to any injury
from a strain, SO that it is impossible
to determine the disease, although it
would appear from the description to
be inflammation of the kidneys (ne-
phritis.) The symptoms of this disease
as described in Stonehenge are a con-
slant desire to void the urine, which is
of a very dark color, often almost
black. The animal is in great plain,
which is plainly indicated by the coun-
t~enance, as well as by groans and fire.
quent wistful looks at the loins, which
being pressed upon causes the animal
to finch. The pulse is quick, hard and
full. The animal stands in a straddling
position, with back somewhat arched,
and moves only when compelled to do
so. The symptoms are nearly the same
as in inflammation of the bladder, but
in the latter the urine is of the natural
color or nearly so. The causes are ex-
posure Of the loins to wet and cold,
violent muscular exertion, standing
uncovered when warm, after becoming
tired, either from heavy work or dri.
wing. Probably the safest method of
treatment, if a veterinary surgeon can
not be obtained, is to wiring a sheep
skin covered with a heavy coat of wool
from warm water and apply to
the loins with the wool next to
the animal. If a sheepskin is not
handy, get a piece of wooden blanket
and fold it so as to have four thick
nesses; dip this in warm water, wiring
as dry as possible with the hands,
spread over the loins and cover with a
rubber blanket. Renew the cloth every
hour. The water should not be sc hot
but that the hand can be borne in it
comfortably. Take one pound of whole
faxseed, slice in a ten-quart tin pail
and add two gallons of water. Put
a large pot or kettle on the stove,
partly filled with water, with small
pieces of bricks or blocks of wood on
the bottom. Set the tin pail contain
ing the faxseed into this kettle, bring
it to the boiling point and let it remain
SO until about one-fourth has evapora-
ted. Strain the remaining six quarts
of linseed tea through clean muslin, set
away until cool, add it to the juice Of
two good-sized fresh lemons, give two
quarts Of this in every bucket of water
taken by the patient, and induce him
to drink all the water possible. Feed
well-cooked bran mashes and steam
chopped hay. When the warm appll-
cations are abandoned, be careful to
rub the parts lightly until dry, applya
very light dressing of mustard and
cover with a warm, dry, wooden blan-
ket. Do not give nitre or resin, as Ell
Their will aggravate the disease. Keep
a good supply of linseed tea on hand,
and the more of that and cold water
he will take, the better. Do not put
the animal to work until strong, and
use him very carefully at first, increas-
ing his work by degrees as he gains
strength.

[FOr THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
A LETTER FROM THE FAR SUM-
NY SOUTH.
HUSTON. La. ADril 8. 1887

huston, Ld., Aprll ., 1851.
DEAR SRA few days ago 1 re-
ceived a sample copy of your paper.
[ think it splendid and think it should
be read by every one on the farm.
We farmers need to exchange ideas
and tell each other our experiences.
Our financial depression is owing to
our ignorance, both in regard to farm
ing and our rights as citizens. AS a
class the farmers are good financiers,
but we like opportunities and a knowl-
edge of the natural laws governing the
growth of crops and others bearing
hon u welfare. [ see that you endorse
the assertion that farmers need organi-
cation. Some think we should or
ganize into clubs but keep the clubs
disconnected. [ think that a solid or
ganization of farmers all over the
United States should be formed, hav-
ing a uniform constitution, and that
we should all work in harmony. The
object of most farmers organizations
is the resistance to organized oppres-
sion. Having such an object we
should take the best means to &C
complish it, and [ think that a Nation
al Farmers Alliance or Union would
sooner effect relief than twenty nation
al conventions. We have such an
order in Texas and Louisiana-having
organizers in all the Southern States
and we hope that by the first of
October, 1887, we can claim the mem
bership of nearly every honest farmer
in the South. Under this National
order each State has it's State rights,
can amend it's constitution in all cases
except extending eligibility to other
classes. Each sub-Alliance or Union
has the jurisdiction yer it's own pri-
vate affairs-where not in conflict
with the constitution of the State
each State has representation in the
National organization and a part of
the officers are elected from each State.
All State organizations that are strictly
farmers organizations, and that will
comply with the constitution of the
National, can have representations in
the National body without a change
of name if it is preferred, and the ad-
vantage of cooperation and unity of
action can be secured, which a never
be done where each county or State
organization remains distinct and acts
without any concert with any other.
This National body is chartered by
the United States and is just as much

SHAVING IN OLD TIMES.

Shaving, in the olden days, was a
lengthy operation, and English bar
bers devised various methods of anus
ing their customers while awaiting
their turn. They generally provided
some musical instrument, such as a
guitar or a either. In old pictures
the shaving basin fitted into the
chin; until a recent period BARRIERS were
wont to bleed a patient, and even
